He was pretty underwhelming first couple of seasons but seems to be coming good this year now they're doing well. I've never been hugely impressed mind, a bit of a lump.

You say that as if the World Cup hasn't previously been awarded to fascist Italy in 1934, the Argentinian military junta in 78 and Colombia in 86 a country riddled with internal corruption and a full scale guerilla drug war. Both South Africa and Brazil arguably have societal problems that give Russia a run for their money and both are vastly more dangerous countries for visitors than either Qatar or Russia. FIFA don't really give a shite, basically. Especially not when there is dollar to be pocketed.

He certainly wasn't key in getting us promoted. Only played 8 games plus a handful of sub appearances.

That's the thing, he was pretty much always shite in the middle.

Sorry if giggs but this is hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMF5RnCelFE

Yeah Spanish roads and rail are better than here tbh. Still: England 130,000 square km Spain 500,000 square km

Basically the same as British pyramid just with regionalisation at a higher step

It's not war ffs. yep far more important than that

Unless the club moves, changes name or goes bust then ditching it is the cowards way out

I wouldn't know until it happens, but presently I watch the games and have zero connection to it, so its hardly like its NUFC to me in it's present state. Plenty of non-league clubs there to support if you want distracting from NUFC until Ashley keels over. Would be no different to supporting a new club in the Northern Alliance

Let's be honest AFC Newcastle at the Gateshead Arena would not be the same club, regardless of what Ashley is doing to NUFC.

Don't be daft

Kinda similar to the small minority of Wimbledon fans that stuck with MK Dons, although I understand them less than the Xerez fans who want to stick it out.

Xerez CD have had a long string of crooked owners, dropping like a stone through the divisions and being further relegated because of accrued debts. Fed up with the whole thing, fans and former players created a rival club from scratch in the lowest tier of Spanish football, named Xerez Deportivo FC. They have been promoted twice in two years and are currently attracting bigger crowds than the main one. Most people expect the new club to end up supplanting the old one, since they are only separated by two divisions right now. It would sort of be a pity, since Xerez CD is a very storied club, more than a century old. That's about what I thought. Is there animosity between supporters of the old club and the new one? Only 1 division between the two clubs next season, since the old one is hovering mid-table right now.

VI can you explain the situation with the two Xerez clubs, how many are supporting the old one vs the new one

unreal, the main Chelsea racist is a Human Rights Activist http://www.sundayworld.com/news/news/chelsea-race-thug-is-ex-irish-cop#.

Oh aye definitely So 15 league goals last season and 17 the one before count for nowt, at the ages of 19 and 20? 28 million was ridiculous but he's clearly going to be a good investment for them long term.

Lukaku is class man. Having a shite season like the entire Everton squad.

ol' Danny boy sounds well liked at Leicester http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/99488-danny-simpson/

He's an arsehole and not good enough to get away with it.

Asprilla, Zola & Brolin....wow. No idea if that was ever a front three, but still wow. They had those 3 plus Stoichkov and Inzaghi in 95/96.

86 actually. Plus 11 co-owned and 21 who are on Wiki as just 'other players under contract'.

Torino, Fiorentina, Palermo, Napoli all gone bust before then came back. Parma have already done it once in the 60s.

Tbf most Italian clubs have gone to the wall at some point. Probably be back in 10 years with the old license back as if nothing ever happened.
